Ps. 97: Power

Psalm 97:9 "For you, O LORD, are the Most High over all the earth; you are exalted far above all gods."

There's a lot of imagery in the 97th Psalm related to power. The mountains, the thunder, the lightning. Fire and darkness. Mountains are said to melt like wax...this metaphor was used before when David was hopeless...his heart melted like wax. That is fear.

All these entities beyond the grasp and control of man are subject quite handily to God almighty. Its a good thing he is in control, because I'd hate to live in a world where these things run amok. This power God has is praiseworthy.
